Cramer Joins Amicus Brief to Reject President Obama's Illegal Immigration Actions

Statement

Today, Congressman Kevin Cramer announced he was joining 112 U.S. Congressmen and U.S. Senators in filing an amicus brief urging a federal appeals court to declare President Obama's executive action on illegal immigration unlawful and unconstitutional. The brief was filed by the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ). It was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and supports the lawsuit filed by 26 states, including North Dakota, to challenge the president's actions.

"President Obama's actions on illegal immigration are clearly unconstitutional and I was left with no other choice than to join 112 of my colleagues as well as 26 states to stand up for the Constitution and the Rule of law and oppose the President in federal court. Our nation's immigration laws must be defended and I hope the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit will concur with lower court rulings and overturn the President's illegal abuse of power, said Cramer.
